PHP Error "Class Not Found" Using Abstract Class

I am using a static factory method to create a concrete implementation of an abstract class. But I am constantly getting the "Class Not Found" error.

I know that my "require" paths are correct because any other configuration leads to the "failed to open stream" error.

My question is, why am I getting this "Class Not Found?"

class A {
   public function method () {
      $obj = B::factorymethod();
   }
}

abstract class B {
   static function factory() {
      return new C();
   }
}

class C extends B {}

When I do this I get:

Fatal error: Class 'B' not found in C:\phpproject\C on line 11

A has require_once(B.php), B has require_once(C.php), C has require_once(B.php)... there are no other errors.

Because you have used the non-existent keyword method in your code, preventing your class from being properly recognized and evaluated, thus, not being discovered among correctly defined classes.
